Studio Technologies Model 400A-12T SDI-Over-Fiber Transport System

State-of-the-Art Video Distribution
The Studio Technologies Model 400 SDI-Over-Fiber Transport System offers a cutting-edge, cost-effective solution for broadcasting digital video signals over varying distances. Specifically designed for the demands of remote trucks, live events, and fixed installations in broadcast and production environments, this rack-mount system supports all standard broadcast serial digital video formats. The Model 400 system enhances traditional broadcast setups, facilitating high-quality video distribution with ease and efficiency.

Tailored for Diverse Applications
This system is available in several configurations, including the Model 400-12T and Model 400-12R, each tailored to meet specific needs within the broadcast and production sectors. Whether for sports broadcasts, live concerts, or studio operations, the Model 400 system ensures reliable, high-performance video feeds across multiple platforms and locations, making it an indispensable tool in modern broadcasting.

Robust System Features
The Model 400 encompasses a comprehensive range of features designed to maximize operational efficiency and video quality. It performs multi-channel electrical-to-optical (E2O) and optical-to-electrical (O2E) conversions, facilitating twelve format-independent SDI data paths across four single-mode optical fibers. This flexibility supports various SDI standards including 3G, HD, SD, and DVB-ASI, ensuring the system’s adaptability to evolving technology and industry standards.

Model 400-12T Specifics
Focusing on the Model 400-12T variant, this unit excels in converting twelve SDI inputs into four streamlined single-mode optical outputs. Each output utilizes WDM/CWDM multiplexing to transmit three SDI signals, enhancing the system’s capacity and reducing the complexity of network infrastructure. Its dual power capability—AC mains or DC with automatic switching—ensures continuous operation, crucial for live broadcast scenarios.

Easy Configuration and Monitoring
Management of the Model 400 is streamlined through an Ethernet port, which allows operators to configure the system and monitor its performance remotely via web interfaces or SNMP. Front-panel controls, including a status display, navigation buttons, and LED indicators, provide on-site management simplicity. The 1U lightweight enclosure ensures that the system is both portable and easy to integrate into existing setups.
